Chapter 242: The Waves Rise and Fall, and the Lovesickness is Comforted
On the first day of August, after the emperor prayed in the Taimiao, he officially embarked on the journey.
On the fifth day of the first month, Emperor Xuande, who was on a starry night, arrived in Fanggang.
Since Ninghe County received the order, he began to supervise the construction of large ships.
However, when time was pressing, the county guard of Ninghe County directly gave up the idea of building it himself, and spent a huge amount of money to directly requisition merchant ships that often went to the South Seas.
The county guard was also requisitioned along with all the crew members of the ship, thinking that they were familiar with the nature of the water and were also extremely familiar with the terrain of Maolong. Even the geography of Bai Zhi and Hujing is also very clear, and comparatively speaking, they are the best guides.
The emperor looked at the two big ships, was very satisfied, and praised the county guard of Ninghe County.
The county shou was thinking about thanksgiving, but saw that the emperor continued to speak.
"You don't have to be complacent, you still have to pay attention to the matter of letting you build a big ship, and after I leave, you will start work immediately.
You have to remember that our goal is not a small place like Bai Zhi Country and Hujing Country, our goal is the sea of stars. ”
The county guard nodded frequently when he heard this, and was moved by the emperor's heroic spirit.
He really couldn't understand what the emperor's sea of stars meant, but he couldn't ask, so he had to say yes again and again, indicating that he would obey the edict.
On the sixth day of the eighth month, the weather was fine, and the emperor boarded the ship with a night of fatigue, I don't know whether the conditions of the post house were too simple, or the emperor's heart was too heavy.
The boarding personnel who followed saw that the emperor's eyes were black, and they did not dare to say anything.
Only the Ninghe County Guard, who didn't know the severity, thought that he had entered the Sacred Heart by virtue of the fact that the emperor had just praised him two sentences yesterday, and began to ask about the emperor's daily life arrogantly.
"Dare to ask Your Majesty, did you rest well last night?
But the two women sent by the minister did not serve well?
They are all carefully selected good families in the local area, knowledgeable and courteous, virtuous and virtuous. ”
When the emperor saw that this Ninghe County was guarding in front of the public, he actually talked about these things in the boudoir, and he immediately became angry.
"For the sake of your filial piety, I didn't want to mention it.
I have come to recruit myself, but you harass the place and offer women, what should I do? ”
The county guard of Nanninghe didn't know why the emperor suddenly became angry, and he immediately knelt down in fright to plead guilty, and his hands trembled.
"Your Majesty, the minister is very kind."
"Good intentions, I see that you are used to tricks and let you build a ship, but you rented a ship and spent a lot of money on the court, but whether you have given enough silver to others, I am afraid that only you know it in your own hearts."
When Naning and the county guard heard about the charter of the boat, they trembled even more, and their hands trembled uncontrollably.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please be aware of this, this matter is done by the Chamber of Commerce, if there is really a mistake, please take the president of the Chamber of Commerce to blame."
"Hmph, the ability to quibble is not small.
The Chamber of Commerce wants to investigate, and your responsibility is indispensable.
Yesterday, I had already let them go home overnight. What a big dog, he dared to raid the people in the name of me.
Originally, I thought that the matter of renting a boat with you was quite done, and I thought that I would deal with you again when I came back.
Who knew that you were so ignorant, come to someone, take down this dog official for me. ”
The Ninghe county guard sighed and fainted in front of him.
Emperor Xuande also ignored it, and when he passed by him, he kicked him.
"Idiot." Jushuku
The people around him did not dare to step forward to help, and when the emperor walked over, two soldiers immediately came up and forked him.
The emperor waved his hand and asked them to take Naninghe County to defend it.
The others were silent, only the chief of Ninghe County saw that the chief official was reprimanded, but the affairs in the county still had to be taken care of by himself, as long as he stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, please stay." ”
Emperor Xuande raised his eyes and looked at this little official who was talking, wearing a green robe, at most a petty official from the fifth grade.
"What, is there anything else?"
"Your Majesty has taken our county guard, our Ninghe County currently has no history of assassination, only I, the long history, can continue to supervise the construction of ship repairs for Your Majesty, but the grade of the ministers is too low, if there is no decree from Your Majesty, I am afraid that the dispatch will be unfavorable and I will miss Your Majesty's errand."
Emperor Xuande smiled, "At this time, I am still thinking about my errand, but you are a reliable and good official." ”
Everyone saw that the emperor did not play an official tone, and he still used the people's evaluation of officials, not talking about good and evil, only good and bad, but also happy.
"I also ordered you to take care of all the affairs of Junning and the county, as well as this dog official, and send me to Haojing, so that the three law divisions can hear it together, which can be regarded as fair."
The people around him hurriedly knelt down together, chanting in their mouths.
"Your Majesty is wise, long live long live long live."
When he was in Haojing, although there was also a voice of praise, but he shouted long live like this, and shouted repeatedly, Emperor Xuande only felt noisy.
When those people retreated, Emperor Xuande ordered the boat to sail, only to feel that the road ahead was long, but the rear was all annoying. This emperor's chair, everyone came to grab it, only saw the scenery on the face, but did not know how heavy the responsibility is, and how much turmoil a little injustice will cause.
It is precisely because we know that these difficulties are not easy, and every change seems to be difficult.
Take this trip to sea as an example, those places that were originally dissatisfied with the collection of mining tax money, now they are afraid of a showdown with new taxes, and they only feel that it is not difficult to pay the mining tax.
Not to mention the local levy on the liquor tax, under Concubine Yun's suggestion, the local government can set aside 20% for local expenditure, and it is also more active.
Therefore, the cost of this trip to sea is very sufficient in the treasury.
Even the cost of the war against Wuyan has already been saved.
The sea slowly unfolded in front of Ji Fansheng, vast, vast, and boundless.
The blue is the color of the sky, the color of the sun, but not the color of the water.
The sea is so vast, but it has no color of its own.
Thinking of this, Ji Fansheng felt an indescribable weirdness, as if he had everything, but at this moment he was nothing.
At this time, he was no longer the Emperor Xuande of the Hongyin Dynasty, nor the co-lord of Borneo, nor the husband of the group of women in the harem.
He seems to have returned to his teenage years, alone, with infinite hope in front of him, extraordinary abilities that can create all kinds of miracles, and there seems to be her in front of him.
Yes, she never left his heart.
Ruoshui, this name has not been mentioned for a long time, but his heart has never forgotten for a moment.
It was the memory of my youth, the mark of growing up together, the hope of the past, but the despair that cannot be repeated today.
He felt dizzy, he felt his stomach tumbling over the sea, is this seasickness?
Is this all that Wakasui has also experienced?
Ji Fansheng refused to return to the cabin, he poured out all his depression into the sea.
Then follow the ups and downs of the waves, in the waves, relying on their lovesickness.
In this life, is there a chance to say goodbye?
Ruoshui, can you still wait for me?
